Competition on the Australia-USA sector is set to increase dramatically with US carrier Delta Air Lines preparing to launch a daily non-stop service from Los Angeles to Sydney.

Delta has just loaded into global distribution systems (GDS) a daily service on the Atlanta-Los Angeles-Sydney route.

The SkyTeam Alliance carrier will operate a Boeing 777-200LR on the route and the service starts 1 July subject to government approval.

The outbound Atlanta-Los Angeles-Sydney flight will have the DL17 flight code and the return will have DL16, according to the GDS entry.

Currently only Qantas Airways and United Airlines operate on the Sydney-Los Angeles.
